Chris, the tile god who did the beautiful floor tile so long ago, has arrived promptly at 9 on Monday morning. He put up his groovy gridded back board and assured us that we have enough tile to do everything including the back corner of the pantry, which wasn't part of the original plan.
Ultimate Cement Board! Because the house is so old and the walls are warped, he needed lots and lots of SHIMS!
Coming home from work today, I discovered.....
Stoned Love, to be sure! Our vision is starting to materialize. Finally!
And the super eye-opening surprise was that Capitalism went my way...I bribed someone at the stone company to rush our last CaesarStone corner. They claimed at the time that it wouldn't be fare because other people were waiting. (We waited an extra 2 months, but I didn't use that as a bargaining chip) Instead, I offered a little extra cash and they finished it by 10/27/09, not 11/06/09 as projected!!!!!
Evil wins out.
Hey, I'm still a member of the Green Party.
Coming later in the week....I hope....The plumber, the electrician, the dishwasher and the refrigerator! This is the bird's egg blue on the wall in the pantry behind where the fridge will go.
This will be the primary wall color. The secondary wall color is still TBD.
Stay tuned, kiddies!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! I can't wait to see this live and in person. Your backsplash is perfect with the (Hail) Caesarstone. What a delight. Isn't it fun to watch it coming together at last?

Yes, Carol. All the elements are starting to gel. We've got earth and air, now we just need fire and water (and ice.)
ReplyDeleteYes---you will need ice for sure to make yourselves a cocktail or two! With everything coming together it is looking so very, very nice.

OMG! It's bee-yooo-ti-ful! LOVE the backsplash with the apple green! Magnificent. I can't wait to see it in person.
